TODAY’S edition of The Press and Journal newspaper is offering a £1,000 reward to anyone who can provide information that leads to the arrest and capture of a thief.
It follows the theft of a wallet – and several hundreds of pounds – from a 71 year-old pensioner who was lying injured in an Aberdeen street.
Says The Press and Journal editor-in-chief, Damian Bates: “Every right-minded person will be utterly appalled by this.
